<h1>Creating a new Repository Location</h1>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>
    Before you can begin working with a SVN repository, you must define that
        repository location to your Eclipse IDE.
</p>
<h2>Procedure</h2>
<p>
    You create and work with your repository locations from the <span class="name">SVN
    Repository View</span>, which is part of the <span class="name">SVN Repository
    Exploring Perspective</span>. To create a new repository location, click
    the <span class="control">Add SVN Repository</span> button <img border="0" src="../images/newlocation_wiz.gif" width="16" height="16"> or <span class="action">right
    clicking</span> inside the view and selecting <span class="menu">New &gt; Repository
    Location...</span>
<p>

<p>
    The <span class="name">Add SVN Repository</span> dialog will prompt you for
    a repository location URL. Enter the URL of the repository you want to connect
    to. No authentication information is requested at the time the location is
    defined; it is left to SVN to request your user and password information
    when it is needed. The main benefit of allowing SVN to manage your password
    in this way is that it will prompt you for a new password when your password
    changes. Furthermore, it will also cache and encrypt the new password.

    Once you click finish, the wizard will create the location. Expand the location
        to see the contents for the given URL.
